Leave it or put it right?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a smaller place like Little Chalfont, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our external mastic in Little Chalfont
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Little Chalfont, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We’re often asked to deal with sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, across copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames.
In and around Little Chalfont, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Quotes for external mastic in Little Chalfont
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants are not designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
External mastic in Little Chalfont: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 1.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Little Chalfont has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near St George's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For landlords with property near Chalfont & Latimer station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dr Challoner's High School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Can you do external mastic in Little Chalfont?
Yes, Little Chalfont is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Little Chalfont?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you use backing rod?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding so the bead can stretch.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
